Learn Italian with ItalianPod101.com! After the girl’s ex-boyfriend left the bar, she became distraught and resorted to mumbling to herself in Italian. You felt sorry for her, but there was nothing you can do, so you told the bartender in Italian, “Buy her a glass of chianti on me.” About twenty minutes later, her ex-boyfriend comes back…this time alone! You start to panic as he makes a beeline for the girl at the bar, but you decide to wait and see how things play out. You move closer and overhear him say in Italian, “Hey…saw you earlier, but I couldn’t come talk to you because I was with my cousin. Are you going to be here a while?” When he heads to the restroom, you walk up to her and tell her in Italian, “See! You were assuming incorrectly all along. Do you feel better now?”

Before you leave your friend’s birthday party, the girl who bent your ear for more than an hour about her ex-boyfriend tells you in Italian, “Thanks for listening to me and for offering me advice. I appreciate it.” You tell her in Italian, “It’s no problem. I just hope you find a solution to your problem.” As you finish uttering your statement, you see her ex-boyfriend cross the room with the girl in question. Your acquaintance hides behind you and asks you in Italian, “I know they’re going back to his place for a nightcap and who knows what else.” You tell her in Italian, “You’ve got to stop worrying about this.

Why don’t you go to the bar and maybe you’ll end up finding someone nice to go home with too!” And you think to yourself in Italian, “And at the very least, I’ll be able to get out of here!”

Learn Italian with ItalianPod101.com! Your younger brother plops down on the couch next to you and asks in Italian, “Hey, bro, what are you reading?” You respond in Italian, “It’s a book about the art of war…I think it will help me with the ladies.” Your brother asks in Italian, “How does that work? I don’t see anything similar between war and girls.” You explain to your brother in Italian, “When you get older, you’ll understand. For now, just know that women are complicated, and it’s like going to war.” Your brother then looks at the other books around you and says in Italian, “What’s this book about? It’s got the longest title I’ve ever seen!” You reply in Italian, “That, little brother, is a book about dueling. I thought it might impress the ladies if I learned how to fight for their honor. What do you think?” Your little brother tells you in Italian, “I think it’s time for you to come outside and start playing games with me!”
